Trash of the Count's Family

Cale was looking at Adin's face as they fell toward the flat ground.

It was a groaning face full of pain.

Cale started to laugh and shout toward Adin once he saw Adin start to smile.

“You goddamn bastard, I knew it wouldn’t be this easy!”

Black smoke started to shoot out from Adin like a bomb.

It was as if a large black snake was shooting out of Adin and was trying to rise up to the sky.

This was a mixture of aura smoke and black magic.

That power rushed toward Cale.

Baaaaang!

Adin could see two people running toward him as the silver shield and the black smoke crashed against each other.

Tasha and Choi Han.

Tasha shot up into the air as if they had planned it in advance.

Tasha looked like a small tornado as she started to fly up while being surrounded by dead mana and wind.

She could see the silver shield that was enveloped by the black smoke.

“Eat it up.”

Her friend, the wind Elemental, started to move in accordance with her will.

Bang, bang! Baaaaaang!

The black tornado ate up the black smoke. However, Tasha's eyes were not watching that happen. Her eyes were focused on the terrace that Adin fell from.

There were bastards from the Alchemists’ Bell Tower looking down from there with all sorts of different expressions on their faces.

She could easily tell which of them were black mages.

‘According to the information we gathered during the past few days, not all of the members of the Alchemists’ Bell Tower are black mages. The ratio is about 50:50.’

Tasha recalled what Cale said to her.

‘We also found some people who were brought in as slaves. They seem to be being held captive in a storage room inside the Bell Tower, probably because it is a time of war and there's a lot of noise out there about black magic right now.’

Baaaaaang!

She lowered her head.

The black tornado completely gobbled up the snake.

She could see Cale leisurely land on the ground.

‘Tasha, capture all of the black mages. You can ignore the rest.’

Tasha had determined that Cale was quite trustworthy and okay to follow.

Why?

‘Just keep them alive. Other than that, you guys can do whatever you want. It's fine as long as they have a single breath left in them.’

It was because Cale didn’t play nice.

‘Their lives are not for us to take. We need to pass them on to Rex and the people of the slums.’

But he was stupidly affectionate as well.

She raised her head. She could see the black mages who were stiff as they looked at her.

Tasha started to smile.

Why had she come here?

Bang!

The room door opened.

She could see the black mages and the Empire's knights heading into the room.

Tap.

Tasha landed on the terrace and opened up her arms as she addressed the people in the room with a bright smile on her face.

“Hello, the Dark Elves who will send you to hell are here.”

Dark Elves shot up from behind her. All of the Dark Elves who were covered in dead mana were smiling.

There was one more person who was smiling.

Adin had returned to his usual relaxed expression.

“You did something entertaining.”

The falling Adin twisted his body. His face was now the part facing down.

But it did not matter.

“I guess I looked down on you too much.”

Adin looked down at his leg that Choi Han had cut off.

A black aura then shot out from Adin's hand.

“Huh?!”

One of the Dark Elves flinched.

A portion of the dead mana liquid that he was trying to absorb started to move.

It filled the spot of Adin's missing leg.

Tap.

Adin then lightly landed on the ground.

He was standing on his own leg and a leg made from dead mana using black magic.

This leg that looked as disgusting as a monster's leg was taking the spot of Adin's right leg.

“It’s temporary, but not too bad.”

Adin was smiling.

Who cares if other people and the Empire’s citizens would think that he was a monster?

He needed to kill all of them anyway.
